I don't remember Huell ever saying much. Sure, you would think he would lawyer up, but he has always been the tough guy who does what he is told. I have never held him up to any particular level of trust. When his world suddenly comes crashing down around him maybe he just decides to save his own ass. When the ship starts to go down the rats start jumping overboard. As for WW not taking the vehicle to his own carwash. He may not have wanted to be affiliated with that van in any way. His employees could see him in it and if they were ever questioned about it could connect him to the van.
It is a little too easy that things went down this way, but in the last episode Jesse did tell WW that he was going to hit him where he lives and as he pointed out all that WW has left that he cares about is the money. Add in that his cancer is back and he is stressed about Hank and everything else and it could have just sent him into a rage. He has gotten angry in the past and done pretty dramatic things.
As for the last part where he arrives where the money is, doesn't see Jesse, yet stops exactly where the money is and looks around then turns himself in. . . well, there potentially could have been better ways to do this. I could see him pulling into that area because he doesn't know if Jesse has dug all the money up and is somewhere else or what. Then when Hank shows up and he surrenders I have a feeling he had a different plan in mind that involved that video he made or something else, but it was all, literally, shot to hell when the Nazis showed up.
Was it the best episode they have ever had? No, but still think it was pretty damn good. I see WW as slowly spiraling out of control. He is a cornered animal is striking back and that means he may not always do the smartest things not to mention he no longer needs to keep his actions hidden from anyone so he can cut the secrecy out of things and just act.

i'm figuring relentless's failing up angle has to be what's going on here. the failing up is being turned into flailing down. i do get that. ww's hiding the gas can in the neighbor's garbage can in the last episode and a couple other sce, oh, the scene where walt jr. calls him on lying about the gas smell, are both him flailing around for how to get himself out of this particular jam.
so i do see (think?) that the writers are moving towards walt's ending by finally having one of his grand schemes fail. it just seems that the jammed that pretty much all into this episode. and that's a tall order. i would imagine now that they have us all (the viewers) pointed in the right direction, these last episodes are prolly going to be tight.
